The infighting between the two parties is what democracy is. One party getting everything it wants and the other nothing is called a dictatorship.
Way to bury the ledge AP. The general claims this was a political false flag ordered by the president 🤣.
No idea if that is true but that'd be so funny.
They also skipped the part where this was apparently caused by the general saying mean things in a paper about the president, getting fired, then coming back with tanks to hash things out.
All in all, I'm glad this was over quickly with only damaged palace doors and walls and not death and destruction of Bolivian people.

Do you mean bury the lede?

Is he Naruto running or offering a hug?
There's no need to "restore democracy" when you don't overthrow it in the first place.
Until this is sorted out I nominate Juan Guaido as interim president
Restoring the illegally put into place former president is not exactly restoring democracy.
